About us
"Everyone needs a home, support and a springboard into independent living, learning and work. Some don’t have it. Aberdeen Foyer helps fill the gap." The Foyer is a successful social enterprise working to support individuals in communities in the North East of Scotland. Established in Aberdeen in 1995 in response to concerns about youth homelessness and unemployment, the Foyer has reached beyond its early focus and provides various services across the region. The Foyer helps people build confidence and develop their skills and talents to make major and lasting changes in their lives. We provide accommodation with support to former homeless and at risk young people. We deliver linked up services - education, training, mentoring, counselling, employment support and health improvement initiatives to people of all ages.
